British Trampoline Championships
Birmingham NIA – 14th/15th July
Britain’s Trampoline stars will be out in force as
they battle to be crowned British Champion at the NIA Arena
in Birmingham. Amongst the competitors will be Olympians,
World Cup Final medallists and top-ten World ranked Trampolinists
all aiming to produce that perfect routine in front of an
awe struck crowd.
Top of the audiences ‘must see’ list will surely
be 6-time British Champion, Claire Wright. On the back of
a historic Bronze medal in the World Cup Final at this venue
last year, the World number 7 will be looking to continue
a successful start to 2007 with another British title to add
to her collection.
Hoping to dash Claire’s dreams will be her synchro
partner Jaime Moore who also competed at the World Cup Final
and having finished runner up in this event last year, will
be aiming to go one better this time around.
In the Men’s side defending Champion Simon Milnes will
be hotly pursued by syncrho partner and long-standing British
Team member Mark Alexander.
This years draw will be made even more interesting by the
emergence of James Higgins (last years over 19s winner) who
on current form looks to be the best performing British Team
member; and also the return to action of Olympian Gary Smith
who was forced to miss last years competition through injury,
and will be keen to make an impression to boost his chances
of making Beijing 2008.
National Coordinator, Pam Smith: “ The first Nationals
I ran was in 1996 at the NIA, which was highly exciting. Each
year we try to improve on our previous best, which gets harder
and harder. This year is going to see many changes to the
set up that I hope will give the 'WOW' factor'”
